Batyrev's conjecture on the nef cone of curves

Let (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) be a projective KLT pair. Write NE(X)KX+Δ>0\overline{\operatorname{NE}}(X)_{K_X+\Delta>0} for the part of the closed cone of effective curves on which KX+ΔK_X+\Delta is positive, and let NM(X)\operatorname{\overline{NM}}(X) denote the closed nef cone of curves. A curve is movable if it deforms in a family covering XX. Batyrev's conjecture. There are countably many (KX+Δ)(K_X+\Delta)-negative movable curves CiC_i such that

NE(X)KX+Δ>0+NM(X)=NE(X)KX+Δ>0+R>0[Ci].\overline{\operatorname{NE}}(X)_{K_X+\Delta>0}+\operatorname{\overline{NM}}(X)=\overline{\operatorname{NE}}(X)_{K_X+\Delta>0}+\sum\mathbb{R}_{>0}[C_i].

The rays R>0[Ci]\mathbb{R}_{>0}[C_i] only accumulate along the hyperplane (KX+Δ)(K_X+\Delta)^\bot. The conjecture concerns the structure of the nef cone of curves and its relationship with the canonical divisor; the paper proves versions of it for threefolds in characteristic p>5p>5 and in full generality in characteristic zero.
